Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
As a professional voice actor, it's important that I keep my chops up. So, I decided to narrate old classic public domain stories aloud on a podcast. That's pretty much why. I also just wanted to see if I could do it.
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
Gain? Not much. Maybe an appreciation of old classic stories. Sometimes it's nice to revisit the past. Mainly I just hope to entertain a few people.
Which episode should someone start with?
Honestly, I didn't find Nick Carter's voice until the second story, that would be episode 7 - Nick Carter's Ghost Story. Listen to The French Cafe for setup reasons, but I found my stride beginning with episode 7.
Which have been your favourite episodes so far?
The Nick Carter mysteries hold high esteem and a special place in my heart. However, my absolute favorite episode is The Shadow of Christmas Present, episode 23. I have a special fondness for Christmas, and this story hit all the right feels. You can hear it in my delivery.
Which episode are you most proud of?
The two Edgar Allan Poe stories, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado, episodes 19 and 20, are quite special to me, since they were part of the first show I did as a paid actor, so it was a bit of a coming home moment. As I mentioned above, The Shadow of Christmas Present, episode 23, is one I am extremely proud of, from beginning to end.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
Madison on the Air is absolutely clever as heck. Find that one. Listen to it. Canary P.I. is another amazing detective audio drama. Hits all the right notes. Inspirational Living is 30 minutes of positive essay to help get through this messy world. and eTown is a fantastic journey into a laid-back positive musical world.
How did you come up with the name for your podcast?
Honestly, I'm a huge nerd and a big fan of The Firesign Theater. They used that phrase in one of my favorite episodes and I snatched it. It also fits because we - as reader and listener together - are taking a journey forward into the past. So there. N'yah n'yah n'yah.
Tell us a bit about yourself
I'm a self-taught actor, a professionally taught voice actor, a natural singer with a penchant for old crooner music, a humanist, an ally and a cat daddy. I'm also a dad joke master. I just want to get through this life, hoping I made a difference somewhere to someone. I think that's all we can ask as humans, n'est pas?
